Dear Kitty,
             it seems that every time I've been left alone today, I've done nothing but cry. I think I'm just tired, really, but I went off on a bit of a crying jag after lunch when I had to ask Mum and Dad something - maybe I was homesick. I am actually quite homesick, which is a (nearly) new thing for me - I only get like that when I am really tired, but it's been worse than usual. Miss Franklin let me off Games because I nearly burst into tears in front of her, and then Megan walked me back to house. I'm feeling a bit pathetic, to be honest, but it just seems to be one of those day.
Just feeling a bit fragile, I suppose.
Yours,
        Francesca
